Barry Morphew Released on $3 Million Bond, Placed on House Arrest in Colorado

Supporters hired a bondsman after the court allowed a surety, clearing the way for his monitored pretrial release.

Overview

  • The Alamosa County Sheriff's Office confirmed he posted bond and was released from the county jail on Friday after being fitted with a GPS monitor.
  • Supporters covered roughly 10% of the $3 million bond through a bail bonds company, and his attorney declined to identify them, citing safety concerns.
  • Bond conditions require home confinement, GPS tracking, surrender of his passport, no firearms, restricted in-state movement, and abstaining from alcohol and drugs.
  • A grand jury re-indicted him in June 2025 on first-degree murder in Suzanne Morphew’s death following a 2024 autopsy that found a BAM wildlife sedative in her remains.
  • He was arrested in Arizona on June 20 and extradited to Colorado, and he is due back in court for a status conference on Nov. 3.
